Future Sounds presents Cosmonaut at Hyde Park Book Club on 12th May 2024.

Cosmorat is the brainchild of Taylor Pollock and Olly Liu. Taylor grew up in a small town inPennsylvania. She started her music career gigging at bars and playing in various garagesand basements around her hometown. As most kids from rural farm areas, Taylor’sexperiences growing up were peppered with exploring decaying buildings, haunting emptymalls, hanging out at gas stations, and getting into trouble out of boredom. Dealing with themundanity and trauma that comes with late stage capitalism, Taylor explores what it meansto be evil, and if people considertheir opinions and actions or if it is more grey.

Taylor met Olly in college where they shared a love of Alabama Shakes and blues music.They began writing together and have been in and out of several bands before focusing onmaking their own project. They studied recording engineering to explore their love of texturesand sounds. They not only try to conjure up emotional responses with densely packed lyrics,but they also try to make soundscapes with guitars and vocals to create sonic scenery. Aftertheir move to to London, Taylor and Olly added Lorenzo Burgio to the line up, forbreakbeats, samples, and bombastic drums.
